Collectors

Collectors Role

A collector is a business registered with UOMA PE to pick up the poducts governed by the Regulation from large generators or collection facilities and deliver them to registered UOMA PE processors.

At the heart of UOMA PE’s program we find incentives (Return Incentives or RIs) to collectors, according to the different zones in the province of Prince Edward Island. The financing of these subsidies comes from the (Environmental Handling Charges) EHCs paid by members on their sales occured in Prince Edward Island of the products covered by the Regulation.

UOMA PE will examine the information received and will schedule an appointment with the registrant. Following the meeting, if all is in order, the registrant will be presented with a registration certificate along with a copy of their collectors agreement signed by UOMA PE. All collectors registered with UOMA PE appear on the website with the products that they collect and their zones of activity.

IT IS IMPERATIVE that you read the supplemental information sent to all collectors in compliance with the collectors agreement. You will find this information in the Communiqués section of this website under “Collectors”.

What documentation do I need to complete in order to register with UOMA PE as an internal collector-processor?

In the case of a registration for an internal collector-processor, UOMA PE requires all of the documents required for a collector registration AND all of the documents required for a processor registration.

UOMA PE will examine the documents and if all is in order, UOMA PE will forward the registration certificate to the registrant along with a copy of the agreements (collectors and processors) signed by UOMA PE.

Internal collector-processors do not appear on UOMA PE’s website.

Annual renewal

Which documents are you required to complete to renew your registration as a UOMA PE collector?

In order to renew your registration as a UOMA PE collector, you must:

Complete the Collector registration renewal form, to which must be attached PDF copies of your permits/certificates issued by the Department of Environment, Labour and Justice (or any other local government authority that applies) and a proof of civil insurance for the current year for each of your installations;

If everything is compliant, the applicant will receive their registration certificate via email. The latter will be valid for a year, from January 1st to December 31st.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to read the Communiqués from the COLLECTORS section, those communiqués have already been sent to all collectors, they are additional information to the content found in the Collectors agreement.
